MMZ Zero is most wanted Mega Man D-Arts (Fan Poll)

 

Back in April, we had Capcom's April-Fools-that-actually-wasn't, where they showed off four designs and said one would be made into a D-Arts figure. Ultimate Armor X was the one they'd picked, but the story of the other three "fake" designs doesn't end there.

Capcom Japan asked their fans which character they'd like to see as a D-Arts figure ... and the result wasn't even close. Zero-series Zero (one of the four from April Fools Day) won by nearly 2,000 votes over the closest competition, and I get the feeling that this one will be made into a figure now.
